I picked up this wheel off ebay the other day.. Its an ITP.. He listed it as a 11 by 5 with a 2.5 offset, but I ask him how he measured it and he said he did it outside to outside, so that means it should be 10 inch if he measured the lip.. He said the bolt spacing is 4 1/2 across and thats with in a 1/4 of the Honda bolt spacing being 4.75, so im guessing that the 1/4 differance is due to the aftermarket holes being smaller than the big stock holes for the tappered nut.. So im keeping my fingers crossed that I scored a 10inch front wheel here.. It also looks to have the bigger bell to clear the hub.. If not I got an aftermarket 11 inch for less than $30 shipped.. Either way im good with it.. When it gets here i'll update if its a 10 inch or not

Dude, check it out, when you get it, I am pretty sure the ten inches is where the bead of the tire will rest. either way, let us know how the hub fits on this rim. If you will need to modify the hub or anything, I am looking for one too, but am being told you need to grind down the hub in order for it to fit. Now that is with the douglas, so please let me know what happens with the ITP. Thanks!

Yeah that is how a rim is saposta be measured, on the bead sufrace.. He told me he measured out side to outside and it was 11.. My stock R rim is 12 outside to outside and is an 11 in rim.. So this should be a 10 rim..


I just dont recall ITP makeing rims for the front of trikes..
